Why do I care if the people around me care about AI risk?
1. when AI is going to rule we’d like the people to somehow have some power I reckon. I mean creating any superintelligence is a powergrab. Making one in secret is quite hostile, shouldn’t people get a say or at least insight in what their future holds?
2. Nobody still really knows what we’d like the superint to do. I think an ML researcher is as capable of voicing their desires for the future as an artist. The field surely can benefit from interdisciplinary approaches.
3. As with nuclear war, I’m sure politicians will care more when the people care more. AI governance is a big point. Convincing AI devs to not make the superint seems easier when a big percentage of humanity is pressuring them not to do it.
4. Maybe this also extends to international relations. Seeing that the people of a democratic country care about the safety, makes the ventures from that country seem more reliable.
5. I get bummed out when nobody knows what I’m talking about.
